LUCID NIGHT TALES BLOG
The Dream Diaries Project
I live two lives: one while I'm awake and another while I sleep
I have been an avid diary writer for years. Within those pages, you'll find my wildest and most unsettling dreams, future predictions, research notes, art projects, psychic encounters, aspirations, world events, grievances, fears, and anxieties. In this series of blog entries, Lucid Night Tales: The Dream Diaries Project, I'll delve deep into my dream realm and uncover the moments when I first documented each entry, starting with my 2018 diaries. The genres and subjects of my dreams vary. Some plunge me into eerie or terrifying scenarios, while others serve as warnings or transport me back in time or into the future. This project focuses on conveying my most vivid dreams, as the narratives and events I experience during sleep vastly differ from my waking life.
In addition to recording my dreams, I have explored astrology as part of my art practice. This blog involves creating charts that show the positions of the planets at specific times, guided by the dates and times noted in my dream journals. By collecting this data, I've noticed intriguing links between the planets' alignments and the themes in my dreams. For instance, my most memorable nightmares often occur during tense planetary positions, particularly when Mars and Uranus are in square or conjunction; for example, in Strategic Warfare: Lucid Night Tales. On the other hand, my Aztec Pyramid dream didn't occur on the Mars square or conjunct Uranus, but the date featured in the dream does.
In contrast, more creative dreams tend to occur when the Moon harmoniously aligns with Neptune, as in The Mark of a New Journey: Lucid Night Tales. Consequently, my dreams have evolved from merely personal experiences to reflecting the cosmic forces in the universe.
